Abstract
A neural network of a neuro computer has learned a prediction pattern based on the vehicle speed and time series data of the acceleration stroke received before the shipment of a vehicle. Based on the vehicle speed and time series data of the acceleration stroke, a request on the acceleration is predicted by a neural network computer during driving. At this time, an acceleration sensor or the like is not used, and the acceleration request is predicted more directly. Based on the prediction result, the throttle sensitivity is computed and set. A throttle computer refers to the throttle sensitivity to open or close the throttle valve to control the output of the engine.
